This video is pretty thorough for learning the rendering options: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/1/f/1f4b3642b81c49cf25f5a46430d91f12c01a10bf.jpeg "What's the best render engine for BUSY architects in 2023? | A must watch!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HsK-gTRs1g&t=1554s) ---

Did you have a question or need help? I am confused about this post… ---

1. I evaluated the software usefulness of VRay. 2. I evaluated the User Friendliness of VRay. 3. I showed the render time for a small project of VRay. 4. I evaluated the software usefulness of Enscape. 5. I evaluated the User Friendliness of Enscape. 6. I showed the render time for a small project of Enscape. 7. With a side by side comparison, I showed people the differences in the quality of rendering visually, the usefulness, the experience and the rendering times. This seems important, given that VRay discussions on your website often lead to Enscape discussions. 8. I pioneered a new scale of modelling as seen from the close ups to the horizon - many people said this could not be done. This should inspire people who may have believed it impossible. 9. In general, I went to the effort to provide useful information to anyone who seeks it. Feel free to delete it if you find it completely useless. ---

I have 11 scenes with 3s transition and 0s stills. That will make the final animation 33 seconds long. I am guessing Sketchup animates at 30fps. That’s 990 frames. At present, each frame in the sequence is taking 4m30. It’s excruciating to wait, but the images are amazing. Zero noise, great lighting, textures and reflection. My project is 100km diameter.

It’s starting to get tiresome. It is true that they are extensions for rendering in SketchUp but it seems that you are not happy with V-Ray and you have been told quite a few times that it is not the most appropriate rendering software for what you need. ---

There are some things to do to improve the quality of the renders with both engines. With vray specially, you can get hyper realistic results using the proper settings, assets and textures. Enscape has less configurations to play with, but that’s the good thing about it, with few settings it delivers good results and a lot faster than vray. ---

This seems important, given that VRay discussions on your website often lead to Enscape discussions. I don’t think your evaluation is really representative since you are just starting to explore rendering software. As @francisquitof said, there are many settings and adjustments to improve the quality of both renders.
